There are so many different settings you can play with to create your own new sound. Auto tune is really designed to put your off key notes into key. It also serves as an effect to give a robotic sound. Make sure to twist every knob and figure out what each one does.

After you got the sound you want on your vocals, you can take it even further by buying the actual box. The software version and hardware version are almost the same. The hardware has a few more options and tweaks to get a little more out of it.

Bad Singers Rejoice With an Autotune Plugin

Are you a horrible singer with dreams of making it as a pop star? Want to get around your lack of talent? Now you can. Ever wonder why famous singers sound great on their records but horrible during a live performance? It’s as simple as a little concept called autotune. An autotune plugin can help anyone achieve musical greatness-even if your skills aren’t up to par. Here is what an autotune plugin can do:

Perfects the pitch of vocal or instrumental performances
Corrects mistakes or inaccuracies so you don’t have to sing in tune
Fixes timing problems in case you miss a word or a beat
Distorts the human voice to make you sound better than you actually are
It’s easy for anyone to use, from the professionals to the amateurs.

However, the question still remains: is an autotune plugin just a tool for doctoring up bad music? Well, yes and no. While you can know how to use autotune for a variety of “legitimate” reasons- like you recorded a near perfect track with one or two mistakes-it can also be used to completely distort an original recording.

The first major hit song this software was used for was Cher’s “Believe.” After that, other artists followed suit, realizing their dreams of fooling the public into thinking bad singers were good.

One music critic went as far as to say the autotune plugin was a “particularly sinister invention.” For bad and good singers alike, one thing is certain: no need for gargling saltwater, practicing your pitch, and resting your pipes. Thanks autotune!
